And… here’s a challenge to you readers: I want you to come up with ONE All-FCIAC offense, and ONE All-FCIAC defense. Pick and choose your team, and post it in the comments section.

And everyone – be nice. No taunting, no bitching about who should have been all-what. Just be nice to each other like you have all season.

Here are the ZERO TOLERANCE rules if you want to leave a comment:

No hating: Constructive criticism is fine (example: "I think the team should have punted on fourth down."). Being mean-spirited is not acceptable. If a player wins an award, don't disrespect the accomplishment. If a team wins, be gracious about the win and humble in defeat.
No homophobic slurs: If you don't know what a homophobic slur is, then Google it.
No racial slurs
No derogatory slurs
Nothing libelous or slanderous (example: "The coach stole money from the booster club." or "The player is moving back to Texas after the game." or "The poll is rigged.") If you have no proof, don't jeopardize the integrity of the blog.

If you break the rules, you will be banned from leaving comments. If you are not sure you're going to post a comment that may break the rules, e-mail Tim Parry before you write: tim@fciacfootballblog.com.

Congrats too all the players who made it!

Question: Why does CT have more all state and all league players than CA and Texas, states with much better football and larger populations. The 5-10 kids in Fairfield County who did not make ALL FCIAC must feel terrible.

Do the other CT leagues also have teams? This is a little farsical, no?

204 kids. Can that be right?

They should definately have only 1 All FCIAC team. Then after that they could have an All East, West and Central. The other thing, if these are “TRUE” All FCIAC selections, why are there more than one person at certain positions?

Congrats to everyone who made it.

I agree with you – I think that’s how it’s done with baseball and hoops.

What example are we setting? This is football. Are we not trying to build character and toughness? There should be a First Team, a Second Team and Honorable Mention for offense and defense. Otherwise, this current trend of giving everyone something cheapens it for those who trule earn and deserve recognition. Can anyone explain how we got here?

Is this being done to pad player resumes for college recruiting and applications? Do they really think coaches are that dumb? They already generally look over CT as a soft state to begin with and here we go reinforcing the stereotype.
